Tuffa Tanks are environmentally friendly, helping to reduce the risk of spillages and having a range of sizes helps the customer to decide which tank would be best suited to their needs. A large tank would not need emptying as frequently as a smaller tank, therefore reducing the bills for removing the waste oil out of the tank. If the tank is needed but not used to a great extent it would be a lot more useful to have a smaller tank. Waste oil tanks means that the oil inside will be recycled, when taken away by a waste disposal company; this is called 'sump' oil. Although the oil has been used it can be cleaned of contaminants and then recycled again and again - saving the environment. This recycled oil can then be used for many things. 16 Tuffa_Brochure_Layout 1 04/03/2014 09:19 Page 18 SINGLE SKIN TANK RANGE THE TUFFA® SINGLE SKIN OIL TANK RANGE IS AVAILABLE IN CAPACITIES OF 1350L, 1400L, 2500L AND LARGER SIzES ARE AVAILABLE.

Molasses is a thick, dark brown, uncrystallized juice obtained from raw sugar during the refining process, and has a specific gravity of 1.45. What is Molasses used for? Molasses is sold both for human consumption, to be used in baking, and in the brewing of ale and distillation of rum, and as an ingredient in animal feed. Storing your Molasses With proper storage, molasses can last a long time. Heat and humidity can cause molasses to get moldy. Store it in a cool, dry place and be sure it is tightly closed. It can be stored for long periods without deterioration providing dilution does not occur. If dilution does occur molasses is liable to ferment fairly quickly. Storage tanks therefore must be constructed so that water cannot get in, and in addition tanks should be vented to prevent condensation taking place and diluting the surface of the molasses. An adequate system of ventilation also helps to prevent steel tanks from rusting. 21 Tuffa_Brochure_Layout 1 04/03/2014 09:20 Page 23 ADBLUE TANK RANGE THE TUFFA® BUNDED ADBLUE TANK RANGE IS AVAILABLE IN VARIOUS CAPACITIES INCLUDING 1350L, 1400L, 2300L, 2500L, 3200L, 3500L, 6000L, 10000L, 15000L AND INTERLINKING UP TO 100,000 LITRES.

Answer: Tuffa UK's tanks have been tested to Standard:prEN13341:2008 and in addition to this tested under the Oftec Fuel Storage Tank Test scheme and conforms to the Requirements for Tanks as set out in OFTEC OFS T 100: Issue 6 July 2008. Tuffa's Fire Protected Tank Range: - Independently tested to BS476: Part 22: 1987 - Independently tested to BS476 (Warrington Fire Research Centre) - Meets Section J 5.4 of Building Regulations, Table 5.1 for Fire Protection for Oil Storage Tanks - LABC (Local Authority Building Control) system approval Question: Is a single skin or a Bunded Tank required? Answer: In all cases a risk assessment should be carried out by a suitable qualified engineer. If the following apply then a bunded oil tank is to be installed: • Tank capacity in excess of 2500 litres • Tank within 10m of controlled water • Tank located where a spillage could run into an open drain or to a loose fitting manhole cover • Tank within 50m of a borehole or spring • Tank over hard ground or hard-surfaced ground that could enable spillage run-off to reach controlled water • Tank located in a position where the vent pipe outlet is not visible from the fill point • Tank supplying heating oil to building other than a single-family dwelling Question: What is a Bunded Oil Tank? Answer: A bunded oil tank is a double walled tank or a tank within a tank. The inner tank stores the oil and the outer tank acts as a bund which encases the inner tank. The outer tank holds 110% of the capacity of the inner tank. If there is a spill or leak from the inner tank it’s captured in the outer tank so avoiding groundwater pollution. Question: What is an Integrally Bunded Oil Tank? Answer: An integrally bunded tank is an outer tank which is normally attached to the inner tank to rely on the inner tanks build characteristics for additional design support and strength. Question: What is a Double Skinned Tank? Answer: A double skinned tank is a type of tank manufactured by some companies. This is where the outer tank is laid directly on the inner tank (two skins). To obtain structural strength on the outer tank a method is to support it externally or to drill holes in the outer plate and fillet weld the inner to the outer plate filling the hole in again. Some tanks manufactured like this have no secondary containment of 110%, unless additional space has been added to the outer skin to allow for this. Question: What type of base is required for the Tank? Answer: The tank must be completely supported on a non-combustible base and the base must extend 300mm around the footprint of the tank. Question: How can I maintain my Oil Storage Tank? Answer: If you want some helpful tips and advice regarding the maintenance of your Oil Storage Tank / Tanks, then refer to Tuffa's Tank Inspection and Maintenance Guidelines for the best advice.

However, we always endeavour to work to and meet your specific requirements. Typically, the lead time of a plastic Tuffa Tank is 5-7 days. Question: What is Fuel Monitoring? Answer: Fuel monitoring is where the level of the fuel is being obtained either by: a.) Sight: This can be a sight tube that runs to the top of the tank (small tanks normally), or cat and mouse gauges. b.) Mechanically Pneumatic: Pneumatic reading gauges (hydrostatic), where fuel is displaced from a tube and the resultant back pressure formed by the head of oil gives a reading on a gauge. c.) Electronically: This can be various systems, as above, giving either analogue or digital readings Question: What is Fuel Management? Answer: Fuel management is where the above, plus some form of registering what fuel is taken from the storage vessel, normally through a flow meter. Where a record is taken and noted of the fuel used; there are many systems that electronically store this information and can be viewed on a computer system or a web application.

Legal Requirements The legal requirements of HSE Guidance note PM86 in sections 22 – 27 must be adhered to for all tanks. Installation It is deemed that the storage tanks have been installed to the correct procedure by either manufacturer’s instructions and guidelines, British Standards BS5410 Parts 1 and 2, and installation guidelines outlined in HSE Guidance note PM86 sections 28 – 36. Operation and Maintenance Examination Tanks in service Inspection of open bunded tanks Inspection by Competent Person Inspections should be undertaken by a competent person that is receiving a delivery of product on every fill prior to and whilst filling. This inspection should include: • The fill point arrangement for soundness and leaks • Any outlet valves should be checked for leaks and operation (open and close successfully) • The testing of contents gauge, any high level / overfill alarm and bund alarm. • If vents can be seen that they are clear and unblocked and free of debris. • A visual inspection around the tank with emphasis on the base of the tank. The inspection for plastic tanks should include any deformation of the surface of the tank i.e. excessive bulging, change in colour due to chemical attack, crazing or stress fractures. The inspection of steel tanks should include looking for evidence of rust and heavy corrosion, damp patches on seams & seam fractures. • Bund to be visually inspected for soundness and integrity, water, spilt product, or other debris. Competent Person Not Available If no responsible person at the point of delivery is available, then the above inspection should be carried at the earliest convenience after filling. Unmanned Site If the location of the delivery is unmanned then the delivery driver should be made aware of certain aspects of the inspection requirements above. The inspection procedure could be used as a record for fitness of purpose for continued use. If the frequency of filling the tank is greater than six monthly, then the above inspection must be carried out and documented accordingly. Inspection of totally enclosed bunded tanks Visual inspection of a totally enclosed bunded tank can be difficult due to the close proximity of the inner tank and the bund. A bunded tank must have an alarm fitted and the inspection would indicate that an alarm must be functioning correctly. It is preferential that if the alarm activator can be withdrawn and tested this would be preferred. If an alarm sequence has never been activated this would give signs that the inner tank is still sound. 42 Tuffa_Brochure_Layout 1 04/03/2014 09:23 Page 44 Design Life Inspection A design life of a storage tank should be approximately twenty years. For continued use of the storage tank an inspection by: a) Removing the tank from bund and inspecting as above b) A visual inspection device i.e. a camera can be used for the above Internal Examination and Cleaning Internal examinations should be undertaken by a competent person at appropriate intervals, as determined by the product used, and its cleanliness i.e. solids or water falling out of suspension. Entry into confined spaces should be carefully planned and supervised and should be subject to a strict procedures dependent on the substance stored, and in accordance with HSE requirements. Manufacture Design Considerations Tanks built after the year 2000 should have been manufactured to the requirements of an appropriate standard such as BS EN 13575, BS EN 12573, BS EN ISO 1778 or BS EN 13341. Manufacturers should work to an appropriate standard which simplifies quality control and traceability. Would be purchasers should seek advice from the manufacturer regarding a suitable standard for the design and construction of new tanks. In the case of tanks not manufactured in accordance with a recognised design code at date of manufacture, it is recommended that the tank be assessed against a suitable current standard, by the manufacturer or a competent person, in order to verify its continued fitness for service and purpose. The user should make sure that the tank being ordered meets all of the design criteria required of it. It is important that users understand what they are purchasing and do not assume that the tank has the required properties and functions. It is of utmost importance that the manufacturer and purchaser understand the design and function requirements in order the tank is designed accordingly, and the purchaser select a reputable manufacturer accordingly.
